Nagios Core - execvp(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping,

[soufianeadli85]

I install the Nagios Core and I was able to change the cfg_file to another directory, but I am getting this attached output below:

d 3h 52m 24s (No output on stdout) stderr: execvp(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping, ...) failed. errno is 2: No such file or directory


Please help!

Hi,

Where do you have the plugins, are they in the default directory or another location? There's a setting in the resource.cfg file to the path to the plugins directory, check that to make sure it matches with your setup.

root@localhost ~]# cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg
# Path to the plugins
$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec

Good Luck!

Yes, I have that correct it matches what you posted.


# Sets $USER1$ to be the path to the plugins
$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec

Hi,

I would check the permissions on that plugin to make sure it's correct or the same as the other ones that are working.

Plugin Permissions

Code: Select all

chown apache:nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_example
chmod 775 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_example

I found the problem by checking the config file for the switches, it contains some weird characters such as ";" and "~{" which causes the problem, after I removed the characters, the problem got fixed. Thanks to you all for your input.
